Employee-Owned Since 2017
Empowering Our Team, Excelling in Service
Gerding Companies is an ESOP, and Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Through this structure, company stock is automatically granted to employees at year-end. Once one qualifies for the plan with a year of service, stock is earned by their proportion of qualified payroll. It’s easy, it’s automatic, and it’s at no-cost to the employee.
We are proudly 100% employee-owned.
Our ESOP structure gives employees ownership interest in the company, at no cost whatsoever. That’s why we are supremely dedicated to the work we do—we have a vested interest.
Benefits of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
After more than 50 years of being privately owned, Gerding Companies made the decision to go into business with the people that work for us.
Our employee stock ownership plan has many benefits, among them are:
1
ESOPs present a way for employees to earn more money, increase compensation, and essentially be rewarded for their efforts.
2
ESOPs align the interests of employees with those of the company.
3
ESOPs inspire employees to do what’s best for the company shareholders, since the employees themselves are the beneficiaries.
4
ESOPs encourage employees to be more dedicated and hold themselves more accountable.
5
ESOPs help employees to feel more appreciated for the work they do.
